The employees of Goldman Sachs have been told to please watch their language. Bad words—for instance, bad words that may have featured prominently in a certain e-mail characterizing a business transaction as a “shitty deal”—will no longer be allowed to sully the firm’s e-mails. Naturally, this mandate was not delivered in an electronic correspondence. “Of course we have policies about the use of appropriate language and we are always looking for ways to ensure that they are enforced,” a Goldman spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal.The decree has “left some employees wondering if the rule also applies to shorthand for expletives such as ‘WTF’ or legitimate terms that sound similar to curses,” the Journal reports. Some initial research into trader slang reveals that much of the trading-floor tongue does indeed sound uncouth. There will not, however, be an official banned-words list. For tips on how to bypass filtering software, employees should check in with colleagues at other banks: Goldman joins Citigroup Inc. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. as the latest company to institute an expletive-prohibition. And people claim the banks aren’t regulated!
